The BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Information Technology is equivalent to one A Level. There are 360 Guided Learning Hours (GLH) for the completion of the qualification. Lessons will be a mixture of practical and classroom based theory lessons. This qualification is designed for learners who are interested in an introduction to the study of creating IT systems to manage and share information, alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in IT. Throughout the two year course you will study four units of work. These are as follows: • Unit 1: Information Technology Systems • Unit 2: Creating Systems to Manage Information • Unit 3: Using Social Media in Business • Unit 5: Data Modelling
A minimum of five GCSEs at grades 5-9 including maths and English.
Unit 1 is assessed as a written exam and Unit 2 is assessed as a task, both of which are marked externally by the exam board. The remaining two units will be assessed using assignments (coursework tasks) which are set and marked internally at school.
